Data Backup Strategies

Description

Losing family photos, work documents or financial records can be prevented, and these seven PDF lessons explain how. They cover the main risks of data loss, the 3-2-1 backup rule, and the differences between full, incremental and differential backups.

You then read about setting up local backups with external drives and NAS devices, using cloud backup for offsite protection, and automating the process. The final lesson covers testing and restoring, so you know a backup works before you need it. The emphasis is on practical choices, such as which method fits your files, where copies are kept, and how to confirm that a restore works.

Who it is for: home and small-office computer users who want a reliable plan for backing up their files.
